Reform Watch

Reform UK Ltd is a limited company registered in Companies House with two directors, Nigel Farage and Richard Tice. At their conference in 2024 the supporters voted for a new constitution to make Reform a proper (sic) party with more control given to members. See below the journey from the “Anti-Federalist League” to “Reform Party UK”.

1991

The Anti-Federalist League established by Alan Sked – a single issue Eurosceptic party.
1993

Renamed UKIP (United Kingdom Independence Party) but continued to be eclipsed by the Referendum Party (another single issue party whose sole objective was for an election to be held regarding UK’s relationship with the EU – largely stirred up by MSM)
1997

The Referendum Party was dissolved and Nigel Farage with a small group ousted Alan Sked from UKIP.
2006

Farage became leader and sought to widen the party’s appeal but particularly among white working class groups.
2016

NF stepped down as leader of UKIP and joined the BREXIT Party.
2018

The Brexit Party pushed for a no deal exit from the EU.
2019

The Brexit Party registered with the Electoral Commission.
2021

After the UK left the EU in 2020 the Brexit Party renamed itself the Reform Party.
2025

In February 2025, Party ownership was passed to Reform 2025 Limited, a company limited by guarantee with Nigel Farage and Zia Yusuf as directors. There are no shareholders and no one person with overall control.

Given that the BBC appears to have abandoned all impartiality—offering Reform UK an excessive amount of airtime without challenging any of their dubious claims—and with the exception of Channel 4 News, the other major broadcasters seem to be following suit. We at QM Headquarters feel compelled to take a closer look at what’s really going on with this so-called political party.

First up, let’s take a look at their voting record as of the beginning of 2025.

What would Reform UK do for you?

If you struggle to follow politics, here’s a simple way to see what a Reform Government would do for you.

There is an easy way to find out what a political party might look like in government by studying their voting record.

Reform MPs didn’t bother to turn up to vote

Reform UK MPs: Voting Record on Women’s Safety and Online Safety Legislation

Reform UK MPs voted against “measures to make women and girls safer on our streets”, drawing criticism for opposing provisions introduced to tackle street-based threats.
The party opposed the Online Safety Act, a broad programme aimed at protecting vulnerable groups—particularly children and women—from harmful online content. Nigel Farage has called the Act “borderline dystopian,” and Reform plans to repeal it if elected.
Reform leadership suggested they would seek alternative means to safeguard children online, but have not yet proposed viable replacements.

The only people Reform MPs are interested in helping is themselves. Part time MPs, full time grifters, ask the residents of Clacton how often they’ve seen ‘Nige’ since he got elected.

Nigel Farage, aka ‘Nine Jobs Nigel’, somehow manages to juggle a baffling number of roles – yet serving his constituents seems to be the least profitable one, raking in a staggering £571,585 from external gigs in under 6 months, far out-earning all other MPs combined.

Do the millionaire Reform MPs really have your best interest at heart?

And then there were the May 2025 council elections…

1635 seats were contested in 24 Local Authorities (some Local Authorities had no election)

It is important to take turnout into account. For the May 2025 elections turnout averaged 34.3% of registered voters and 35.2% in unitary councils. Local elections rarely top 40%. When a General Election was combined with Local Elections in 1997, 2001 and 2005 the average turnout ranged between 62% and 72%. It is also important to note that the Reform gains almost equaled the number of Tory seats lost.

A great deal was made out of Reform winning those 677 seats. However, things look a little different if we look at the current position of total councillors by political party (as of 2nd May 2025) Independents have not been included.
